10/3 Han

Today marked another memorable day in the Mrs. Coats-Haan third period Honors Physics class. We began the class by turning in the the 2.3 Reading Guide which was assigned to us over this wonderful Homecoming weekend. We then went right into the POGIL work which we had started on Friday. One person from each table was also told to get up and go to the back table, where the folders containing the roles of each member were located. After each table had handed out the roles and begun working on their POGIL, we were to complete them, checking our work with Coats-Haan as we approached each stop sign.  Upon completing the POGIL, each table checked their answers to the kinematic problems on the POGIL to that which Coats-Haan had placed on the board for us (she is just an absolute angel). Each table turned in one of the member's POGIL and were instructed to grade each members performance on a sheet that she gave to us. One member of the group also collected the grade sheets and turned them in. Once all the groups had successfully finished their POGILs, we then continued on to the notes that Coats-Haan had passed out while we were working. The first slide checked to make sure that we had all copied and pasted the correct kinematic formulas to our notecards which she gave us last week. The next four slides were problems based on the formulas. One of the problems included a rattlesnake, and we ended up going off track for a second on the topic of the fear of snakes. These notes took us up all the way to that dreaded bell. We collected our homework for the night which was another reading guide for sections 2.4 and 2.5 and additional book work.

QOD:  

The kinematic equation that would be most useful in this case would be:

v(final)= v(initial)+at
